The given structures (I) and (II) represent configuration of the simplest sugar glyceraldehyde. Which of the following statements is not correct for the structures?
\[\underset{\left( \text{I} \right)}{\mathop{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
|\,\,\,\, \\
\,\,\,\,\,\,C{{H}_{2}}OH
\end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}
\,\,\,\,CHO \\
|\,\,\,\,
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{H-C-OH}}}\,}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\underset{\left( \text{II} \right)}{\mathop{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
\,\,\,\,| \\
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,C{{H}_{2}}OH
\end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,CHO \\
\,\,\,\,|
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{HO-C-H}}}\,}}\,\]
A
(I) represents $$D$$ - form while (II) represents $$L$$ - form of glyceraldehyde.
B
The sugars having same configuration as $$D$$ - glyceraldehyde are designated as $$D$$ - sugars.
C
Natural glucose and fructose are $$D$$ - forms.
D
$$D$$ is dextrorotatory while $$L$$ is laevorotatory enantiomer.
Answer :
$$D$$ is dextrorotatory while $$L$$ is laevorotatory enantiomer.
Since $$\alpha - D - \left( + \right) - $$ glucose and
$$\beta - D - \left( + \right) - $$ glucose differ in configuration at $$C - 1$$ atom so they are anomers.
NOTE : Anomers are those diastereomers that differ in configuration at $$C - 1$$ atom.
ie., (C) in the correct answer.

The secondary structure of a protein refers to
The secondary structure of protein refers to the shape in which a long peptide chain can exist. There are two different conformations of the peptide linkage present in protein, these are $$\alpha - $$ helix and $$\beta - $$ conformation. The $$\alpha - $$ helix always has a right handed arrangement. In $$\beta - $$ conformation all peptide chains are streched out to nearly maximum extension and then laid side by side and held together by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The structure resembles the pleated folds of drapery and therefore is known as $$\beta - $$ pleated sheet.

Which one of the following is not correct?
A
$$D\left( - \right)$$ Fructose exists in furanose structure.
B
$$D\left( + \right)$$ Glucose exists in pyranose structure.
C
In sucrose the two monosaccharides are held together by peptide linkage.
D
Maltose is a reducing sugar.
Answer :
In sucrose the two monosaccharides are held together by peptide linkage.
siucture of histamine
Blood is slightly basic in nature $$\left( {7.35\,pH} \right).$$ At this $$pH,$$ terminal $$N{H_2}$$ will get protonated due to more basic nature.
∴ Predominant structure of histamine is

Glucose on prolonged heating with $$HI$$ gives :
Adenine, guanine and cytosine are present in both $$RNA$$ and $$DNA. \, DNA$$ contains thymine while $$RNA$$ contains uracil.

During the process of digestion, the proteins present in food materials are hydrolysed to amino acids. The two enzymes involved in the process
\[\text{Proteins}\xrightarrow{\text{Enzyme}\left( \text{A} \right)}\text{Polypeptides}\] \[\xrightarrow{\text{Enzyme}\left( \text{B} \right)}\text{Amino acids,}\] are respectively
In the process of digestion the proteins present in food material are hydrolysed to amino acid. In this process two enzymes pepsin and trypsin are involved as follows :
